This is the home of the Berkshire and South Buckinghamshire Bat Group. We are an informal group working to conserve bats and their habitats in Berkshire and surrounding areas. Please explore our site for information regarding bats and details of forthcoming activities. We are always looking for new members to support and participate in our work. If you are thinking of joining the group the relevant information is here. If your question is not answered on our website please feel free to get in touch for specific information. If the bat group can help with professional conservation work through the provision of data please visit our data request pages for further details. Bats and their roosts are heavily protected in law and if you are in any doubt as to your obligations you should contact the Bat Helpline by telephone or contact the Bat Conservation Trust, Natural England or an ecological consultant for advice. The pictures on the site cannot be reproduced in any form without the express written consent of the owners, please email if you would like to reproduce these pictures. The bat roosting in a toilet roll tube to the left is 'Bob' who was found in a washing up bowl by someone who thought he was a tea bag! Bob was successfully released after being washed, dried and then fed for a couple of days to regain strength. If you have found an injured bat or need practical advice regarding bats contact the Bat Helpline on 07005 803201. |
